[quote name='mykevermin']Me wonder? Not at all. The only thing that's surprising is how easily people forgot his campaign promises of 2000. Outside of $300 checks, he ran on a platform of transparency in government (and presumably smaller government, given that he claimed to be a conservative), and he also ran as a "compassionate conservative." I don't wonder shit. He's a dreadful president, and the greatest evidence of that is the amazing intellectual acrobatics and cognitive dissonance repairing that those who still support this administration have to go to to continue to support him and rationalize the administration's actions.
If I had any drawing skills at all, I'd become infamous by drawing a political cartoon of emaciated people, shoeless and in striped outfits, behind a tall brick wall covered with razor wire (conjuring images of Belsen, in the event that using words to describe a panel aren't working so well, as they rarely do). Those emaciated souls, of course, would be describing how Bush really has their best interests in mind and merely wants to protect us from terrorists. It's be a quick hire/quick fire kinda thing. Then again, I can't draw for shit, so alas, it's a pipe dream.
The only thing that surprises me in the slightest is that his approval rating has fallen to where it is. I'd always assumed that the voting public is made up of a large bloc of moderate constituents who hate both parties equally, but vote for the one who is the most contemporarily resonant (currently the Democrats, but more or less the Republicans, with few exceptions, since Carter). Then you have the left and right blocs, whose allegiances to their political parties resembles peoples' blind faith and allegiances to their favorite sports franchises; in short, they follow everything they do with the mindset that "their side" has it all right and the "away team" is inherently evil and has it all wrong. I'd say that roughly 20-25% of the population feels that way for the right, and marginally less feel that way for the left (thus you have the wavering majority who reluctantly goes to one side every 2-4 years). At any rate, I can't see it getting any lower than 25% under any circumstances, as there are some people who won't express dislike for anything Bush does, no matter how contrary it may be to their political preferences (freedom, small government, unobtrusiveness in day-to-day affairs, and so on).[/QUOTE]
Bleh I hate em' both, Bush and the Media. We all know Cheney's Military Industrial Complex is behind this shit and what is this lazy ass bitch doing for us? SHIT! What's the media and Democrats done for us? Nothing.
You give us some real
ing Old School Libertarians and they'll boot him out, castrate old Corporations and give us back the constant cycle of rebirth of Infrastructure what with new Corps coming into being to replace one's of 30 years. Rebirth is a healthy cycle and the 2 party system is a cancer on our nation, same with our media, funded by the same people controlling the Corporations and Politicians, creating the diccotomy of Liberal and Corporatist Media to have PAD at my throat and everyone's at his.
Sorry for these rants but my eyes have been opened and I'm ready for any means neccessary if pushed. I refuse to see my country infantized and crippled. People are worried about a Police State, shit worry about our FOOD moving overseas or it being processed there, where almost NOTHING we get is made here anymore and any chance of creating infrastruture for industry and a non-Welfare economy is gone. This is being done because of the threat we present, we can take BACK our country and isolate ourselves for a while and soon stand on our own again and then take the world back and give them their freedom, debunking radical Muslim plants as well as Zionists, same going for Christian plants. Note nowhere do I say I want the entire world to become an Iraq.
Also we must destroy this pay interest on debt crap. There's a reason why it's written in the Koran.
